Achieving esthetics in dentistry is one of the most challenging issues and has become a persistent topic in all specialties of dentistry. The patient seeks not only a functional restoration or an implant that is osseointegrated, but also an optimal and durable esthetic result, therefore, we are facing everyday higher and higher patients’ demands.
Caries, tooth discoloration, defective restorations, wrong restorative materials, advanced periodontal disease, consequences of periodontal therapy, iatrogenic lesions, wrong soft tissue management, wrong timing of procedures may lead to different esthetic problems and reduce the prognosis of our treatment.
This presentation will focus on my 25 years of experience treating these problems, forecasting an adequate diagnosis of the different sites, on the prediction of the clinical outcome, and on the technical solutions, which, in most cases, requires a multidisciplinary approach and a thorough knowledge of the restorative materials and protocols which involve the effort of the entire dental team.
